If the side of a cube is 3, which of the following options is equal to the ratio between the surface area and the volume of the cube?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2 : 1.
Given that
Side of the cube = 3
Surface area of cube = 6a2
Volume = a3
The ratio of surface area to volume = 6a2 : a3
⇒ = 2 : 1
The ratio between the surface area and the volume of the cube is 2 : 1
